Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

House Speaker Pelosi Used Political Donations to Pay Husband's Firm
House Speaker Pelosi Used Political Donations to Pay Husband's Firm


Quote:
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi paid her husband's real estate and investment firm nearly $100,000 from her political action committee over the past decade, a practice that she voted to ban last year and that her party condemned as part of the "culture of corruption" when Republicans did it.
The Washington Times is reporting that the California Democrat's husband, Paul F. Pelosi, owns Financial Leasing Services Inc., which has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history.

Not surprised by this,scratch most politicians, and mostly what you will find will be crooks

I can't find exactly who first stated this thought in similar words, most of the time, it is true, unfortunately.

I reiterate, most of the time.
